SUPERTOON

We have enough in the squad now, to go up comfortably, we just don't set up right to win games at home.

Wtf is he thinking, changes should have been made as soon as the second goal went in.

Really need to stop using this excuse tbh, the reason we are not winning is the negative set up and tactics. We should be going at them from the off. We did go at them from the off. Yeah and stopped as soon as we scored ffs, we were dominating them when going at them and changed tactics as soon as we did.

Nothing has really changed tbh, when we concede we fall to pieces, when we score first we panic and throw it away.

Rafa to blame at home yet again, the way we set up is pathetic.

Because Diame is dreadful?

No changes. ?

Challenging second half, our heads seem to drop when we concede, plus Norwich will come out firing.

?

He's not even close to being as effective as Gini.

The most worrying thing is our negativity and nervous play when we go in front. Not sure if Rafa is telling them to stop playing and sit back when we score.

Worrying signs in our game over the last few games, hopefully he doesn't leave the subs to late like the wolves game. Diame off at half time for Mitrovic.

Diane and Gayle again? A point at best with that team.

Before the season started I agree, however how home form so far means that there is a fear in approaching them at the minute.

Surely the FA will want to see the list of other managers involved before appointing anyone else?

Not sure we can afford to risk playing him, and the situation we are in means we can't really keep playing him just because we want him to adapt. We need as many wins as possible and if taking him out leads to this and eventual promotion, then it's worth risking affecting his confidence and possible long term furture here.

47,500 tickets gone so far, unbelievable support, may well work against us tomorrow if things start going badly like previous home matches.

The abuse on Twitter is ridiculous, but that shouldn't mask the fact the bloke shouldn't be starting games for us at this moment. The signs were there against Fulham, and our run of clean sheets was more down to the defence and him barely having a save to make.

If grief Spurs him on he should be class at home. ?

Agreed. Cant understand why he insists with one up front. Diame is in very poor form and needs to take a step back for a bit. Bring him on later in a game or something. You would expect to be on the front foot most of the time. Put them under pressure. Gotta try it at some point. Literally all of the strikers are in p*ss poor form. There's literally no discussion to have about formation though, Rafa has never and will never play two up top. So the defence I said is true. We won't go up comfortable if his stance isn't altered. You can't play the same format all season you'll get found out, like sides are starting to see. Oh it's Newcastle who chuck a midget up top on his own, and stick with 4231 all the time, f***ing 2 holding midfielders is nearly as bad as one up top in this league. Keegan gung ho please....... Im not disagreeing with you, but Rafa had played one up top throughout his career, he isn't changing now.

Not sure with that, we are no,better than any team challenging in the league at the minute, our home form is a concern, as is our attacking play.

Rafa isn't changing formation, he has played one striker throughout his entire career. Think he will drop Diame and Gayle and play Perez behind Mitro.

Been poor in every game, and offers virtually nothing to the side. Hopefully will be dropped for the next games.
